Check out the video to hear Troy discuss how the mic tests have been going, and to learn more about the history of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.germanostudios.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Germano Studios<\/a>, some of the challenges and successes they&#8217;ve faced over the years, and some recent high-profile projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Austrian Audio microphones are impressive at first sight, Troy says, even before they&#8217;re plugged in. &#8222;The machining of the microphones is impeccable,&#8220; he says. &#8222;And the presentation, the way they&#8217;re packed in the case\u2014to me that makes a big difference. We pride ourselves on our microphone collection, and we&#8217;re always enhancing that collection.&#8220; The packaging and build quality alone let clients know that Austrian Audio is a company that takes microphones &#8222;extremely seriously,&#8220; he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Austrian Audio On the Mic: Troy Germano\" width=\"1778\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/leFyCnvq0Ak?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Troy&#8217;s engineers have been using the OC818s quite a bit. &#8222;They&#8217;re using them on drums, acoustic guitars, and some vocals.&#8220; Two OC818s were recently used to close-mike rack toms and floor toms on a recording session for blues-rock guitarist\/singer\/songwriter Joe Bonamassa. &#8222;They loved the way they sounded,&#8220; he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the engineers was so impressed with the OC818 sound that he purchased a pair for his own personal use. &#8222;He&#8217;s very proud of them,&#8220; Troy says. &#8222;So far, [the OC818s] are off to a great start here.
